    | 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. | 2. Rinse okra and set aside to dry. | 3. Place Italian croutons in food processor and process to a fine consistency. | 4. Empty crumbs into a small bowl and set aside. | 5. In a medium size bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients together, mixing thoroughly until you have a thick paste | 6. Stir the okra into the paste mixture turning gently until all the okra has clumps of the paste clinging to it. It will not have a smooth even coating, rather clumps of coating. | 7. One by one, place 1/2 of the coated okra on one side of a foal lined cookie sheet. | 8. Take the other 1/2 of the paste coated okra and roll it gently in the breadcrumbs. | 9. Place this okra on the other half of the foal lined cookie sheet until the sheet is full. | 10. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until tomato paste mixture has caramelized and okra has an ever so slight crispiness left to it. Do not overcook or it will be gummy and tough. | 11. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. | 12. Enjoy as a messy appetizer finger food or as a side dish. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
